“The nature of this flower is to bloom.”

“My mother named me after a miracle of nature: Waris means desert flower. The desert flower blooms in a barren environment where few living things can survive.”

“Nevertheless, in this sea of human wretchedness and malice there bloomed at times compassion, as a pale flower blooms in a putrid marsh.”

“When one flower blooms spring awakens everywhere”

“Flowers are made to bloom in the sun and not to be shut up in an apron.”

“I think the sun is a flower,
That blooms for just one hour.”

“May our heart's garden of awakening bloom with hundreds of flowers.”

“…the wild flowers blooming in hushed solitude
Start not at the whispering, 'tis but the breeze”

“Shed no tear! O shed no tear!
The flower will bloom another year.”

“The desert weed lives on, but the flower of spring blooms and wilts. Such grace, such dignity, such a tragedy.”
